Hey Russ,
Sorry,I just noticed your message.
Yeah,feel free to email or PM me anytime,that might be a quicker way to get a response from me as it seems they don't email you when you get visitor messages!
On the strut tower brace,yeah I actually added the GM one from the convertible to mine,however mine is a late '11 and has the revised shape strut towers with provisions for it (IE-threaded holes) Your strut towers will not accept the GM brace,If you look at yours and then look at a late build '11 you'll see what I mean.
I can still get you the part number when I get back home if you want (I'm down in NC this weekend) I can tell you that it runs right around $115.00
Rich.
